God’s Word Translation
2 Samuel 17:1-4
1Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose 12,000 men and leave tonight to go after David.
2I’ll attack him while he’s tired and weak, and I’ll cause him to panic. All the people with him will flee, but I’ll kill only him.
3I’ll return all the people to you as a bride is returned to her husband. Since you will be seeking the life of only one man, all the people will have peace.”
4Absalom and all the leaders of Israel approved this plan.
